Well, it’s January 1st, 2026. Happy New Year to all of our blog readers and social media followers! We hope that the brand new year is a healthy and happy one for everyone! How do you like to celebrate New Year’s Day? Do you host a special dinner at your home or go out? Some people just stay home and relax. I can dig that!!!
Regarding New Year’s resolutions I don’t make them. I make a list of goals of things I would like to achieve throughout the year. Reasonable goals! I don’t give an exact time limit either…just things I want to accomplish before 2027 arrives. One of those goals for 2026 is to downsize and organize our entire home….and I mean ENTIRE home. We’re empty nesters and have way too much stuff! I’ll be cleaning things out and donating them. The items I do keep will be neatly organized.
Another thing on my list is to make healthier meals. We do a lot of that now but I surely can do better. I’m going to experiment with more slow cooker recipes and do even more home canning throughout the year to prep our pantry for the following year. I really enjoy trying out new recipes and I really enjoy home canning. I like to give our extras away to family and friends for their pantrys to help throughout the year.
Finally, our grandchildren are older now and I’m hoping to spend even more time with them. On the to-do list is to take both kids down to the beach on vacation with us later this year. We’re going to plan more “fun play dates” with them too!
Happy New Year!!!! Hope it’s a good one!
